Any of y'all ever get intimidated by the size of an artists discography?

yeah. Swans especially. same with Animal Collective
quality > quantity
>>66198395
>swans and animal collective
>large discographies
hmm
what did he mean by this
Aphex Twin, James Ferraro, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Sun City Girls.
>artist has a lot of albums under their own name
>and also almost as many albums under various pseudonyms
Goddamnit.
Sort of with Boris. I love a lot of their albums, but there are a bunch in the middle and some of the newer ones I just haven't listened to because I have no idea where to start. Stuff like Dronevil, Smile, New Album, and the 3 they released simultaneously.
As much as I love Buckethead, he just pulls albums out of his ass without ever taking his time to put something cohesive together.
theres no reason to listen to a buckethead album unless youre 13 and wanna hear some sick shredding
>>66196905
I think most of it is just random guitar wankary. Right?
>>66198417
Tonetta > Quality
Viper > Quality
>>66198513
word, boris is dope but I haven't listened to all of it, especially the collabs with merzbow and such.
Sloth says hi
Yeah. KMFDM's was pretty big when I was starting out with them. There are a lot of other artists that have over a dozen albums and it's hard to know where to even begin. Especially if the artist goes through a lot of stylistic changes, one album can be bad and the other one can be different and still bad
theres just too much to go through
Happened to me with the Grateful Dead. I solved it by downloading every studio and live album they released in order (so not all the other random live recordings) and listening to them exclusively and chronologically for a month.
Hello, thread
>>66199207
How do you listen to them now? Have you made a compilation?
>>66196905
Not when every album is just random noodling on guitar with no actual songwriting or anything. Anyone can make an album a day of that.
>>66199184
joes garage is so much fucking fun.
hot rats gets boring after the 3rd or 4th track
>>66199239
No, now I'm familiar with all of their albums. Now I just pick the album I'm in the mood for or select a random live show for something new. Some rarely get played.
>>66199301
Dead's live shows are overwhelming for me, I don't really know what makes a particular show better than another one. I just pick out random ones from the 70's.

Whoever guesses this band gets a cookie
>>66199432
easy. avenged sevenfold
>>66199207
I did the same with Swans, now I cant stop listening to them on repeat
help
>>66199555
Didn't get a cookie, but he got trips.
>>66199207
Is the Grateful Dead any good.
>>66196905
I wanna get into Weezy, but he has like 30 fucking albums in his discography
>>66198617
>>66198607
>they havn't listened to his acoustic albums and albums with travis dickerson
A lot of his work is incoherent noodling which should be avoided, but theres a lot of good shit hidden in there if you feel like finding it. Population Override is a good place to start
>>66199658
Mate, I'll fuckin kill you if you ask me that again. Your homework for tonight is:
Live Dead
Workingman's Dead
Skull and Roses
American Beauty
Europe '72
Blues for Allah
Terrapin Station
History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1
and at least one live show from YouTube.
Get to work.
>>66199765
>Blues for Allah
Wu da hell

Melvins
Wow, I didn't know so many people ITT didn't actually listen to enough Buckethead to gather a decent enough impression of his music to make an opinion about his music as a whole
git gud
>>66199555
No
>>66199888
Nope (probably would be true if not for the 14 years old part)
Nice trips for both of you though
>>66198531
For every 10 pikes, he puts out one that's pure gold. When he really gets into it, he makes great stuff
>>66198607
While it's true a good chunk of it blends together, some of his compositions are downright great for just shredding.
>>66200381
Whoops didn't even read the formed 14 years ago part. Still pretty close.

nadja?
>>66202633
Correct anon! Since you got some nice dubs as well, here's a whole tray of cookies!
>>66202705
was anything other than thaumogenesis and the pyramids collab any good by the way? I must have heard 5/6 others back in the day that didn't stick with me
>>66198495
OPN's really isn't that big. and all of it is really good.
source: over 5,000 opn plays on last fm
>>66202904
Touched re-recording is really good imo, as well as Queller. They're both pretty accessible though. I haven't dug that deep myself but from what I understand there's a lot of pointless jam albums around the 2010 era.
>>66199660
Listen to
>Dedication 2
>Da Drought 3
>No Ceilings
Those are pretty much universally considered the 3 best Wayne projects, and each represents a different evolution of his style. If you like one, listen to other projects by him released around the same time. Good luck
>>66199658
my middle names are based on them for what its worth
>>66203014

where should i start senpai? Sounds like it could be fun to try to get into
>>66198423
14 albums how is it not large hello
>>66204327
>thinking 14 albums is a large discography
You might as well have a sign around your neck saying "I'm a massive fucking normie".
>>66204403
in comparison to artists who have literally 0 albums like Jai Paul or some shit i'd say its a big discography.
if you take 5 mogwai albums, its already 5 hours of your fucking DAY. 5 constant hours of listening to something.
now take 10 albums and thats 10 hours, 14 albums is literally more than half a day. come on son.
>>66196905
king gizzard seem to be pumping out albums left and right
The Rolling Stones' discography is a mess particularly their 60s stuff.
>>66204432
lel u dont get it ur not as patrish as this dude gb2reddit amirite
>>66198513
>I have no idea where to start
Is this really a problem that people have?
Just pick an album and listen. If you really feel you have to start somewhere do it in chronological order.
>>66204452
>>66204432
14 is about average size, it's not my fault that all the artists you listen to have sparse discographies
>>66204432
not really, they've been around since the 80's
the first incarnation did an album roughly every year or two, and so does this incarnation, which is a pretty decent pace
also
>can't listen to music for half a day
c'mon man

As long as you post shit like this, your opinion on any subject matter is irrelevant.
>>66204629
i agree with you on the last point, i listen to like about 6-8 hours of music a day unless im on voice chat or something. but when i have to listen to 5 albums for ex, you'd think it's 5 hours but it's probably more, i'll listen to each album 3 times to decide whether i like it or if it's worth keeping.
>>66198531
He has a lot of filler albums. He basically just sits down, improvises and records it, and then releases it.
But when he makes a good one, oh boy, it's usually god-tier.
Buckethead is one of the masters when he's trying.
